Late night reading with Bandit.
Screwworm eradication was a parasitology moonshot. It was huge, ambitious, expensive, and required extraordinary international cooperation. It is one of the greatest technological marvels nobody’s heard of outside livestock circles and a select group of weirdos, of which I’m one.
i have absolutely fucking had it with 100% of all of this shit. gambling websites, lies, cryptocurrency, rampant corruption, lies, deep fakes, lies, plagiarism, devaluation of expertise, lies, bile, abuse, violence, bombs, genocides, lies, plutocrats, oligarchs, and lies. fucking enough. rules time
1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵
people are mad about this, and justifiably so, but also worth remembering this eating up trump's last reconciliation bill (with nothing else of substance) is due to dems maneuvering better than any minority party has a right to
Happy Pride Month!
Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict:
"I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."
